It has been a difficult few years for the Dutch national team, who missed out last summer’s European Championships. However, they’ve impressed in their last couple of matches, and coach Dick Advocaat will be hoping his young team can spring a surprise at the Stade de France.
The Netherlands have a few players out injured, including Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk and Everton midfielder Davy Klaasen, but nothing to cause too much concern. France are in a similar position: their only significant absentee is injured Real Madrid centre-back Raphaël Varane.
